Do kids that age really act that way IRL in school? Holy hell, so no wonder no one wants to be a teacher anymore.

They did 35 years ago. Mine weren't in uniform skirts and ties to throw off expectations. Middle schools with aggressive girls who are often bigger than the boys being the worst. 

When the victim's best friend went from just hitting and knocking down to the post UFC/MMA era where fighters start stomping on someone on the ground, I was expecting the two detectives who sat by as just a school case might have found themselves with a secondary case. That they didn't show her kicking his abdomen my thought was she was stomping his head.

Go Inside Adolescence Episode 2

[Snazzy Daisy]

Rude and entitled teenagers with overwhelmed teachers. Not my favorite episode. UGH.

Calling someone out (emojis or not) on social media is a shitty thing to do, Katie.

DI Luke Bascombe’s son — Adam knows about red/blue pills but he has no clue about its connection to The Matrix. 🙄

The Bascombe/Ryan foot chase scene is hilarious because obviously both of them couldn’t run on full speed, or else the camera guy won’t be able to catch-up. 😆

She still didn’t deserve to be stabbed to death over it.

The cruel irony of the cops assuring Katie’s friend that she wouldn’t be overshadowed by her killer…and yet that’s exactly what happens.

They need someone much younger to work the case with them.  A social media expert.

I was thinking the same thing! The kids were all horrible, so disrespectful and bratty. I'd be so stressed out if I were a teacher at that school. Sheesh.

The school atmosphere was so bad and I was wondering, do we think it was supposed to be the usual? OR was everyone reeling from Katie's death?   The kids were so disrespectful to the adults and to each other. The teachers were shouting, or disengaged like Mr Malik, or  TOO nice/sweet like the lady who was taking them around.  It was awful.

The only thing that seemed out of line to my experience was how far Katie's friend went when stomping Jamie's friend with that crime being written off.

I guess part of the reason for showing it was that the girl was bigger than the boy.
